We need that embed thing to work

Also the reason why the creatures fail to show up is the server is down... so I guess you can't see yours either. They'll fix it when its supposed to come out...

EDIT: I HAVE DONE IT! I HAVE MADE A CREATURE THAT WOULD FAIL MORE THAN THE DODO BIRD!






And since this creature would be made fun of by all the others its goal in life would be to evolve to its children could kill all the creatures that made fun of it:




I've decided thats what I'm going to do in spore. Make a retard creature and then make every species regret ever making fun of it...

And here's my first monstrosity. I'd use the black backdrop but my little lizard is mainly black

Called it the Spined Raptor.

Pardon me while I lol.:LOL: Although it's "inappropriate" to some, it is rather creative. I wouldn't have thought of that.

lol, i must say that you guys have a much better creative mind then i do. Love how people make these different creatures with such a limited SCC.


where? i looked around at the forum and couldnt find one.


just remove all the "object and /object with those < > surrunding them



the code should look like this




Dont get me wrong im not against sexual stuff in games, just that, that one made me feel bad for some reason. I hope it wont just download alot of creatures from the spore database to fill out the universe, and when i visit every planet ill see penises and vaginas all over the place.
That just doesn't feel appropriate to me. Sure a image of it can be funny but not in the game itself, and if i wanna see that stuff ill go somewhere else

Guys, I gotta say this at the risk of getting zapped here, so please take it in the manner its intended ...... step back and look at these things ROFL!!!

If someone had offered you a book of them a year ago they would have been laughed out of court as the rambling offshoots of a lunatic! I tell you, the power of on-line gaming to start bandwagons never ceases to amaze me.

Hey, have fun, go for it etc ...... but really, oh man ... I'm just lost for words frankly .... I dont know whether to laugh or cry

The editor really shows the limitation of the engine (doesn't really create many 'custom' animations) and the lack of creativity the devolopers had. You're more or less limited to things that exist or a morph of two animals.

I love Spore! The creature creator is amazing. You should check it out if you haven't already.

Holes in the design.

My biggest gripe is poor handling of tails and weapon objects. I'll be damned if I can get it to attack with weapons if they aren't on an actual hand possessing arm. Bloody irritating that, not a lot of point in having a mace on a tail when it's just there for looks. Maybe the game will use them differently, but if it's like the creature creator is this is a major letdown. In RL we have stegosaurus, scorpions, porcupines, but dangerous tails in spore require a hand?

The more icky, but less depressing due to insignificant game play ramifications, body shaping. I don't want to make a lardass, I want to make a giant scorpion with a spiked tail(yeah... the tail is a problem too) and a wide, flat body with them little insect legs sticking out. Ok, so I haven't got any insect legs either, but I can't make a wide body to start with. Nature isn't round dammit!

Flight doesn't appear to be in, too bad. I'd love to make a weak ass flier that dive bombed it's victims and flew back to safety.

It's an amazingly simple editor, EA can burn in hell, but the developers deserve every dime they make and then some. Short of serious flaws or a DRM issue more severe than the asinine three activations, I'll be getting the game. If they fix the editors shortfalls I might even buy the full version of it. Pissing away money to get something quicker isn't one of my strong points though.

Yep, I tried to make an insect as well... It's okay as long as you do something remotely spider / ant shaped, though.

Tails and weapons seem to be pure fluff, which is a shame. I'm waiting to see the full game, though - or the full editor, which apparently is also a demo of the game itself.

Weapons aren't fluff, they do actually affect damage (watch the stats).

also, this is a plains stalker, it is made of ownage and win

They affect the stats, but the animation still uses hands for the attack animations. That spiked ball on your creatures tail may lead to a better attack rating, but it isn't used as a weapon itself.

Hence: Weapons -> Fluff. It doesn't make the slightest difference where you put them.

and out pops more! straight from the pooper!

It is in, I don't know how it works in the game exactly, but just equip one of your creatures with the wings and looks at its stats in the top right corner. One of the blue or green buttons will be flight. Just press on it and he'll fly about for a bit. The more wings the creature has, supposedly the longer it will stay flying.

why could spore have not stayed like this,

The video above is a video of spore as it stodd being demoed in 2005...

It looks so much better than the current game. MAybe its just me and the poor picture quality of the video. But the game looks so much more scientific and realistic. But now it just looks like a big cartoon

my creation :)))

Two words: Electronic Arts

They've gone a long way since their Amiga days.

Crisme: That was a very happy creation

crisme:
LOL that made me laugh

I agree with you, just look at the creatures movement, it looks much better.
Its a good question if its because of the limited SCC version, but i fair it is not..

Heres my most recent one. Finally managed to discover that you can add limbs to the joints of those you've already place, making some interesting creatures:

So I'm gonna try to pick up the full one today! I want to make more dodo-esque creatures.

While browsing through this I just figured out something...

Back in 2005 when Spore was JUST being introduced at GDC 2005, Will Wright was talking about the inevitable rise of production costs of making games. So... instead of having content created for the user, the user creates the content.

This led me to thinking.... So the jobs of content creation has essentially been outsourced. Not only that, we have to PAY $10 just for the privilege of creating content, rather than E.A. paying us for content provided for their game.

Uh-huh....

I've been waiting SINCE GDC 2005...


So they didn't have the full version at Target or Gamestop... TO AMAZON!!!

EDIT: checked the website... I AM SICK OF THESE DAMNED DELAYS. Guess I'll see if stores have it tomorrow...

I don't fault them for delays. Making games isn't exactly an easy thing to do, so I don't blame them.

I do however, hold their feet to the fire with regards to another issue, and that's DRM. But that's straying a bit off topic.

It's kinda bittersweet that I like playing with the creature creator, I love the creature creator, but I'm sad that I won't be buying Spore.

oh yeah people, try to click the center of the galaxy so that you only see the galaxy itself. Then spin the galaxy and release the mouse button

Some people like to destroy for their fun. Others prefer to create.

Anyway, since the Sporepedia is up, I've been browsing through that as well as their forums. Interesting stuff.

Also, if you want the CC in stores, you'll have to get it from the new SimCity game. Right now, the full version seems to be direct download only.

New beastie. I originally tried to create a Beholder but due to the lack of option for the creation I could not get it right then to top it off with no legs it fell to teh ground so I extended the body and added legs. The full tools is like $10 and I may go ahead and jump in and get it. Pretty fun program and the kids are digging it as well.
